Too white for night, too black for day
These are the sadistic shades that backstab and betray
Too resplendent to conceal, too disgusting to display
These are the dreams that are demolished and discarded in disarray
Too gallant to go, too scared to stay
These are the stalemates that we succumb to everyday
Too valuable to donate, too paltry to pay
These are the words of redemption that we will never get to say
Too emancipated to detain, too shackled to stray
These are the vivid nightmares that will never go away
Too vigorous to retire, too feeble to play
These are the circumstances where predator turns into prey
Too dead to resuscitate, too alive to decay
These are the atrocious aftermaths of tomorrow coming today without any delay
Too euphoric to beshrew, too distressed to pray
These are the moments that will seal our fate in stone on our Judgement Day
...Too light for night, too dark for day
These are the saddest shades of gray...
